Jamie Briggs, Analog Addiction. "Agent 47 is returning next month, as the Hitman franchise makes its debut on next generation platforms. The long running series has seen many changes throughout its history, but it’s easy to argue that the new episodic release structure of the upcoming installment is the biggest change yet.
Release structure aside, I recently had time to explore The Prologue section of Hitman. This beta portion of Hitman took place 20 years prior to the previously revealed Paris Showstopper mission. This is an interesting section of time for fans of the Hitman series, as this is the first instance Agent 47 meets his long-time handler Diana Burnwood. Agent 47 must prove his worth to the International Contract Agency during two missions set within the ICA training facility, which feature Agent 47 tackling previously conducted missions in order to test if he is able to rival previous successful contracts."
Stealth action games from the Hitman series are no longer available for purchase on Russian Steam. When going to the game pages, the message “This product is not available in your region” appears. The changes were noticed to us by one of our users along with a screenshot.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
